Those of you that know me know that I'm not the kind of guitar builder that goes into paroxisms of pleasure at the thought of high figured woods. My main love is good old mahogany.
Well I have just opened a package from Bob of a set of his (now My!) Black Limba. I'm totally blown away by the wood, it feels and taps like the best mahogany and looks like pale Madagasan, and all for $75 I couldn't fill my car's petrol tank for that.
I was late in looking on Bob's site for the Black limba and all the sets were sold, but then I noticed a Page 2 button and lo more appeared, most gone but I found a set that I just had to have, in fact if I'd had the choice of all of the 2 pages I would still have chosen the set I did. Those of you that missed this wood should be very unhappy luthiers!
It was the first time I had dealt with Bob and have to say it won't be the last, what a great man to deal with.
Thanks Bob you're a real asset to this community.
Nothing on it to highlight the grain.
